PHA Health Strategic Planning Workshop Co-Facilitated by Health Impact Project and Grantmakers in Health
WHAT IS TODAY? • Half-day workshop featuring facilitated group discussions and exercises. • Introductory presentations about health-housing connections and funding landscape and emergent insights and trends. • Three (3) modules to walk through “current state” analysis, goal-setting, and action planning. • “Report back” opportunities for participants to share. • Final thoughts and synthesis
WHY THIS WORKSHOP? • Hear from PHAs that their health-related efforts are reliant on external partners or otherwise a collection of programs. We want to help PHAs feel they are in the “driver’s seat” of their efforts to improve community health. • Everyone can benefit from dedicated planning time. Today’s workshop is focused on pragmatic questions and outcomes, not just “thought exercises.” • Today is an opportunity to either start, scale, or refine your agency’s health -related efforts.
WHAT IS TODAY? • This is your workshop. Consider today an opportunity to think critically and creatively about your agency’s goals and partnerships. • This is a new format for us. Tell us what you think. • Share your results with CLPHA. It helps us to know what our members are working on and ways we can support you and your partners.
WHO IS “IN THE ROOM”? • We have PHAs participating from all over the country with their own teams. • PHAs have convened in-person teams of staff and external partners to participate in today’s workshop. • We encourage you to participate in “report backs” as a way to learn from each other. • Tell us where you’re from!
HOUSEKEEPING • Make sure you have the supplies listed on the agenda and worksheet (e.g. Post-Its) to facilitate a group exercise later. • While everyone should be using worksheets (or paper) to track their own notes, you might want to appoint a team recorder. • Keep your conference line on “mute” (NOT “hold) • Keep it on during the modules/discussions as facilitators might jump in with additional instruction or time checks. • If for some reason you get disconnected from the audio, just dial back in. • Questions about logistics? Use the “chat” function in GlobalMeet if you have questions.
